Most of them have been fixed, friend.

What do you want, someone to act like George W. Bush and claim that everything is going perfectly? Matz is at least willing to see the good and the bad and to openly acknowledge it.

Unlike GWB's rhetoric (which you seem to prefer) this is not a religious war. Just use the right tool for the job.



I'm sorry, but what the hell are you talking about? How did we go from talking about what's been fixed or not fixed in Ruby to accusing someone of being a Bush propagandist?


The comparison was intended to highlight that by giving that presentation, Matz is not simply propagandizing Ruby, he's trying to distribute accurate information. The parent of my post seemed to be critical of Matz's approach because it was humble and honest. The implication of that is either that he expects Matz and Ruby to be perfect (an impossible feat) or that he would perfer Matz to simply evangelize Ruby blindly.

I personally do not find it distasteful when someone is honest about the shortcomings of their project. It takes humility to do this, and it's totally uncool to rip on someone when they do it.
